Battery only charging to 75%...How do you clear/reset battery history?

Hi,
I'm not sure if this has to do with a battery calibration issue, but my Nexus 4 has been charging only up to 75%.
Also, every time I plug in my charger, the battery history used to reset to 0 min. Now, the battery history has been on for 3 days without resetting. I'm guessing this is because the charge doesn't go all the way up to 100%. How do I fix this? I am on stock 4.2.2 and using the stock charger. Should I try using my Nexus 7 charger?
Thanks,
Nexusowner

Use different charger! Stock charger sucks! I had the same problem...

Let it drain all the way, until it shuts itself off. Plug it in and do not turn it on, let it charge all the way. The screen will display charging progress. If the screen is blank press and quickly release the power button to see the status.

Used my MyTouch 4G slide charger and it charged to 100% with the battery history reset. I must have a defective charger. Hopefully, Google will send me a charger and I won't have to RMA my whole phone...

Charging went from 30% to 100%

Hi guys, I am using paranoidandroid latest build and Franco M1 kernel. So yesterday night, as soon as I plugged in my nexus 4 for charging, it went from 30 to 100% in seconds and showed as being charged! It happend twice so far and restarting fixed it. But when I restarted, it started charging from 18%.
Is it a bug in the kernel or the ROM? Should I be worried?

AW: Charging went from 30% to 100%
I had that happen 3 or 4 times since January, once on stock rom as well. Unplugging and waiting a few seconds before plugging it in again always fixed it for me. I'm using AOKP and franco kernel at the moment.

That happened to me as well. Both on stock and on franco's kernel. It just seems that our N4 sometimes gets a little glitchy when it comes to reading off the battery percentage. As long as it's not happening consistently, I wouldn't worry at all:highfive:.

Do you have a nexus 7 I accidentally plugged my nexus 7 charger into my four and that happens instantly jumps to 100%.

I'm using the regular charger from LG. Hopefully its just a bug and not something hardware related.

I think its usually caused by using a charger other than the one supplied or when you have just used the usb and then put it into the mains shortly after.

I'm stock and in rooted. Use stock charger. Happened last night to me. Unplugged a few times and it worked. Weird

Ultra fast charging..

Wow check that out has anyone's device done that? Stock charger, batt went from 50% to full in round 5 mins...?!

Then, after you reboot, the percentage stays the same?
Nexus4 modded with cyanogen.

mine done that once... but it was trolling me.

After reboot? Nah.. it dropped to 28%!
Fastest discharge in history too.

My N4 did that once even worse, went from 7% to 100% in under 10 minutes, I was do confused. I had to run out so I grabbed it and took it with me, battery went to 97% after about twenty minutes then phone just shut off. Plugged in and had the red led. I plugged in and booted to recovery and let it charge a few, then booted up and it was at 3%, has been fine since.

Do you by any chance have lightflow installed...? I recently had my Nexus 4 going from 29% to 100% in perhaps 10 seconds and I have never seen this before and I have had the phone since december but have just installed lightflow about a week ago - after a restart everything was back to normal though....

No lightflow here...also hasn't happened again either so it seems random.

Sudden battery drain

Hey guys!
Today my phone was at about 10% charge, so I decided to charge it. After I plugged it in, it immediately said charged (I unplugged it after it said charged). After about 30mins the phone completely turned off and wouldn't turn on. When I went home and plugged it in, a red light started to blink. After fiddling around with it and finally being able to turn it on, I went into the battery menu and realized there was a sudden drop. I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me why it happened, a fix/ a way to prevent this from happening!
Edit: I am using paranoid android 3.69 with twrp 2.6 and Franco kernel 3.4 milestone 3

thats a pretty big issue, but I just ran into a similar issue. My battery life was at 73, and then i powered off the phone then powered it back on. it was still at 73. then i powered off again and powered on again and it was down to 65. Not sure why that is, did you power off/on your like this too?

Woah, this is either a big coincidence or has something to do w/ PA. I had same thing happen to me and I had to RMA my phone. It had only been a few days since I had installed PA for the first time.

What do you mean by "I had to RMA my phone"? Sorry i dont know many terms.

Didn't unlocking the boot loader void the warranty? How did you get a replacement?

Strange problem with nexus 4

My friend recently bought an imported nexus 4 from eBay(on my advice). He's having a strange a problem. The device works normally till the battery drains below 50%. But then it suddenly turns off and doesn't turn back on again. When he connects the charger, it's stats charging from 0% again. The charging process is also normal.
Anyone had this type of problem?

Whats the rom and kernel?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Try charging it to 100%, disconnect charger, reboot and check if it already lost some charge during reboot. If yes charge full again.
I had something similar (not a total drop, but a fast drop when below 50%) a few days ago and this helped. I don't know why, though.

I think you should try both suggestions.
Also inform us what is the ROM and Kernel he is using.
Keep us updated.
